I'm so happy ( all so posted on lap band site.)
(To my fellow minnesotian I posted this yesterday on the lap band site but wanted you to see it all so but i'm lazy and did not want to retype it all so Here it is cut and pasted 
) Oh...OK I know this is going to be annoying for some but I also know you'll be happy for me. Saw my surgon Dr Jeff. on thur.3/20 for my first fill. Well I still don't have any hunger. from my first day on clear liquids post-op I've had no hunger. this is rare but it happens. I'm down 25# post-op and 77# in total sooooo amazin and no fill needed. I'm only eating 6 ounces or 2/3 cups right now and not having any snacks. getting in all my protein and fluids so until I start getting hungry , eating more or gain wait I don't need any fills . I set a date for a future fill but Dr. Jeff already told me if all stays the same to just cancel it and move it out another 4-6 weeks and or schedule a date when needed. ( I will at some point mostly get my hunger back but I might have to lose more weight first. The way the band is postioned on my stomach it has the effect of cutting off the nerve bundle that stimulates hunger, so as I lose weight the band will naturally loosen and I'll most likely get my hunger back all though if not its ok with me.) I'm so jazzed I can hardly control my self. Things are going so good its unreal. Dr. Jeff didn't say who of course but he was excited too because I was the second person he'd had that day who didnt need a first fill due to no hunger. He's not 100% sure but it may have some thing to do with the newer band. I hope so , so more people can enjoy the no hunger thing . But don't get your hopes to high If you haven't had your band yet cause most people with the newer band will still have hunger. Its still rare Just not as rare with the new band. Another plus is I have a smaller band in place so I've got some restriction I tested out my band and 1&1/2 cups of food made me full and I felt a little discomfort but not real pain and 1 cup of food was fine but after 5-10 min. I felt full and didn't want any more so I'm happy with 2/3 cups right now . Well I'm setting in front of a nice fire with a hot cup of tea and to night for dinner I plan on having a small steak and steamed cauliflower . I haven't had a steak yet post-op so I'll see how it goes. Kinda glad it's snowing ( live in minnesota its snowed about 4-5 inches today and its a good reason to stay in stay by the fireplace and maybe watch a movie or two and just be happy oh sooooo Happy. with a big smile thanks for listen( ok reading ) banded 2/5/08
